Feel Good January

One of the most frustrating things to me as a human is when a friend, colleague, vendor, whoever continues to push me off because they know they missed the mark and they don’t want to have the hard conversation. AND YET THIS IS ME, RIGHT NOW, with y’all and with myself on this blog. I…

OLYMPIAD | Feel Good Monday 071122

Another epic weekend, another time I fail to post Feel Good Friday… Another epic 4th of July weekend with the second annual Beer/Seltzy Olympiad! Pics on ig. I’m so grateful for the stellar group(s) of friends that jumps in, buys in, anticipates and celebrates this party, and goes HAM when they get here. Grateful for…

A Feel Good Friday in Two Parts | 011720 & 011020

011720 // Aspen: 1, Lyssa: 0 I returned from last weekend’s Aspen trip fulfilled with friendship, exhausted, and sicker than I’ve been in a long, long time. Like, sick enough that I fell asleep on the DEN>AUS flight in a middle seat without a neck pillow. Sick enough that I still haven’t eaten solid food,…

My Friends Making Beautiful Jewelry

Earthy: The Pointed Arrow / @thepointedarrow I absolutely adore Lily’s sense of style (mentioned here before), and her mountain boho aesthetic calls to me. I’m particularly enamored with the pieces that…

My Place | Feel Good Friday 022318

I don’t feel like I can possibly do justice to the gratitude I have in my heart for last weekend, in Aspen, with my favorite people in the whole world. I wrote this immediately after returning home: Time somehow moves both slower and faster in Aspen. It’s as if you’re flush—with time, with friends, with…

Feel Good Friday 031017

The happiest soul! As I gratitude-listed last week, being back in Aspen made my soul happy, mostly because of my bestie and other friends there, but also because—gasp!—the mountains have won me over, they own my soul now. Fresh air, fresh snow, blue skies a color blue only found in Colorado … it’s all a…
